Traditional Medicine – Drinking Plenty Of First Aid Children Stricken With Dengue Fever – When exposed to infectious diseases dengue dengue fever, the patient is typically recommended for a lot of consuming the liquid so that his condition quickly improved. Why liquid is very important for patients Dengue Fever?
“The intake of fluids is important to replace the water and ions out of the blood vessels due to leak,” said Dr. Leonard Nainggolan, SpPD-KPTI in Pocari Sweat conference 2012 ‘ Educational Society on the importance of fluids and Ions to keep the Daily Health.
Dr. Leonard said when the mosquitoes aedes aegypti bite it will arise from the reaction of the immune system against the virus. This condition makes the body release chemical substances such as cytokines.
These substances will be empties into capillaries that have only 1 layer so that it is easy to leak or discharge of liquid because cracks increasingly wide.
Capillary blood vessels contain the composition of blood (white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets), and blood plasma consisting of water, proteins, sugars and ion. While experiencing a leak then the blood plasma will be out of the blood vessels, the fastest is water, ions and sugars.
Gradually will become more concentrated, if increasingly concentrated then the blood flow will slow down which makes the supply of nutrients and oxygen is reduced so that the body can shock until his death.
“Signs if it is concentrated is the laboratory test results to her hematokrit. When it’s concentrated fluid intake with healthy, “said a doctor who also became a consultant team of experts dengue fever dengue Health Ministry of INDONESIA.
Dr. Leonard explains if seeing the results of the laboratory should not just platelets, but see also the hematokrit therefore the danger. If the value is higher then needed more liquid.
“How quickly the gap in these blood vessels widen depending of how many substances that are released are mainly cytokines, the more off so fast. This condition depends on genetic factors, generally of white skinned people more quickly, “he said.
In addition in obese people, the leak was more impacted. This is because in general the total amount of water in her body less than normal people. Obese people as well as on the body’s ability to neutralize the virus less immune reactions already used most to fight fat.
Dr. Leonard revealed until today there is no drug that can kill dengue virus and also there is no cure. For that treatment that is done is to treat symptoms such as pain medication per head, febrifuge and also a lot of fluid consumption.
Meanwhile, children also need to be decompressed with warm water in an area of the folds of fat.
“If the patient can still eat and drink more than 100,000 platelet levels, then the patient can be an outpatient but had to much to drink at least 2 liters per day, the consumption of drugs such as laboratories and monitor hot hematokrit and platelets,” said Dr. Leonard.
According to the WHO, Indonesia ranked second as a country with cases highest economic burden with DBD reached 300 million u.s. dollars per year.
